I also recall seeing Suzanne Vega (on the Solitude Standing tour) and opening was Richard Barone (ex-Bongos) doing his solo tour thing, accompanied only by Jane on cello. I think the album at the time was Cool Blue Halo, so you might check that and see if she's on there. I'm sure I have a bunch more she's on, but usually I'm just surprised when I notice her, but don't remember where. Neal ------------------------------ From: brage@sphere.home.id.dtu.dk (Jens P. Brage) Date: Sat, 6 May 95 21:01:14 MET Subject: By a Candle's Light... Hi! I'm writing this in the light from a couple of candles (and the cozy glow of the monitor ;-)): In Denmark we have a tradition for putting lighted candles in the windows on May the 4th, to celebrate the end of WWII... [Well, I didn't manage to finish the klaus Thursday, so some of this was written in broad daylight - sorry! ;-)] In my last klaus, I mentioned an upcoming dance performance based on Medea, featuring Diamanda Galas. Well, it turned out to be much sooner than I expected: I saw the performance last Tuesday... The performance consisted of two parts: The actual dance performance, carried out by the dancer Yvette Bozsik (who plays Medea) and 12 other dancers (all female), and the music, provided by Diamanda Galas and Ars Nova. The dancing was quite good and the music was spectacular, but, unfortunately, the total performance didn't work that well; perhaps mainly because Diamanda Galas' vocals totally dominated Medea's very minimalistic dancing - in effect removing the Medea from "Medea"! However, both Galas and Ars Nova were quite stunning. Galas' performance was relatively low-key, but, obviously, a lot of people in the audience had no idea of what they had gotten themselves into! ;-) For instance, the guy next to me had his fingers solidly planted in his ears during Galas' solos... She sang (and played on the grand piano) a number of songs, mostly from "Plague Mass". The performance started out with the tolling of bells in the distance, then the lights went out and the bells died away; at this point I (and, as it turned out, the friends I was with) braced myself for Diamanda Galas at full blast in the darkness... However, a little light appeared on Galas' podium and then she recited "I Wake Up and See the Face of the Devil" at a fairly moderate volume - a bit of a disappointment! I suspect the original intention was to let Galas' cut loose in the dark, but it was changed for the sake of audience unfamiliar with Galas' music (most reviews apparently complained somewhat about Galas vocals, though the reviewer from "Politiken" was very positive), Ars Nova is a Danish medieval (and modern experimental) choir, and their beautiful vocals provided a suitable counterpoint to Galas' extreme vocals. Even though I was primarily there to see Galas, it was actually Ars Nova who provided the performance's absolutely most stunning experience: For the finale, they sang "Allegri: Miserere", perhaps the most perfect vocal performance I've ever heard. I'll just have to find a recording of that... The performance, "Katarsis", has a second part, which is based on the Oedipus myth and features Einstuerzende Neubauten and the Finnish shouting-choir Huutajat. This premiers this week, and only plays 5 times (as did Medea). This time, the producer, Anita Saij, has promised earplugs for the reviewers! ;-) - -+- On to my (more or less) bi-weekly klaus. Ulrich beat me to reviewing Mari Boine's new album: > I found Mari Boine's latest album last week. It's called > Leahkastin (Unfolding), [Polygram 523889-2], and contains 59:18 > minutes of utter excellence. If you like Mari Boine's music, I can > nothing but say "RUN AND GET THIS!". I bought the album just the day before Ulrich wrote this, and I can only second his review: It's an excellent album - I suspect I'll get to like this one even better than "Goaskinviellja". While the sound is indeed similar, the main difference is, I think, that the new album is more dynamic - probably due to more extensive use of bass drums and guitars. > For all those bass-notes-of-doom collectors: listen to the third > track (Cuovgi Liekkas) at mediocre volume and ask your neighbors > what happened after about two and a half minutes. Yes! Anthony (the first ;-)), you'll have to get hold of this album - it will definitely get you closer to the USA! :-) - -+- Klaus writes about Bobo In White Wooden Houses' new album: > It took me some effort to like the album, which I do now, but > their 1st2 are *much* better (IMHO). Hmm, too bad. I was really looking forward to this album.

Is Laurie Anderson touring Europe??? When is this concert scheduled for? And then I really lured Klaus out onto the thin ice: > Thanks to Jens I'm now the owner of a CD by Sainkho. > Feeling adventurous, I selected the one which he described as > being extreme and experimental. That was no overstatement. He, he... ;-) > Once you've listened to it, it's not an album you play on a whim. > It's too disturbing if you're not prepared, so I can't imagine that > many people will play this very often. Nevertheless I'm glad to have > it. She is probably the only singer I'd put in the same category as Diamanda Galas; in both cases, listening is a taxing, but rewarding experience and definitely not something for just background music. Nice review Klaus, btw! Amy added: > That Sainkho album sounds interesting - I've never heard of her > before. It sounds like it should be labeled with a disclaimer > "Warning! Will scare the shit out of you!" Well, it might, but the main difference between Sainkho and Diamanda Galas is (IMHO) that Galas is scary because of the extreme (and exclusive) anger in her music; Sainkho, on the other hand, presents a much more varied spectrum of emotions, so I do not find her (as) scary. Ok, part of the reason might be that Sainkho is exceedingly charming live - once you've seen her, it's difficult to get scared by her music... Btw, after the "Medea", Galas seemed almost shy in accepting the applause from the audience - that was a bit surprising from a musician with such a `tough' musical style... - -+- Meredith wrote in response to my suggestion that "Solace" perhaps allows Sarah's voice better `room': > Hmmm... interesting that you feel this way. I think the > arrangements on FtE allow her voice the most room of all, especially > on "Plenty", where her voice provides much of the instrumentation > (though I do think that the vocals-only version on _The Freedom > Sessions_ works better in this respect). And then there's "Fear", > which stands in a class by itself. The very first impression I got > from _Solace_ was that she was restraining her voice too much, and I > continue to get that impression even today. Interesting! I've decided to proceed in the scientific fashion, and do a comparative study of Solace, FtE and FS: :-) I'd perhaps agree that SM is a bit restrained on (some tracks of) "Solace"; however, even if she is holding back, this in turn makes for higher emotional intensity in my ears. Altogether, I'd say that the tracks from "The Path of Thorns" to "Mercy" is my favorite SM songs and, symptomatically, "Black" is the best of all... Actually, I think the biggest difference is in the production: FtE is much slicker, and uses a lot of overdubbing to augment SM's voice (not to speak of the, perhaps, too loud instrumental parts) - it could just be a good dose of echo, but to me it sounds like overdubbing. On "Solace", on the other hand, her voice is mostly allowed to stand on its own and thus display it strengths - true, on "Mercy", for instance, overdubs are certainly used, but only after the pure voice has been established. Oh, I do have another complaint about FtE: The engineering is pretty bad; there's quite a bit of noise and the distortion of Sarah's voice is pretty terrible on a track like "Ice" - I checked with earphones to be sure that it wasn't distortion in my loudspeakers, it *is* the recording (this conclusion is also supported by the fact that both foreground and backing vocals are distorted, whereas the instruments are pretty clean)... Of course, all this is just IMHO, and I certainly wouldn't claim that FtE is anything less than a great album - just that McLachlan can do even better... And I'm a bit surprised at the technical quality, I'd thought Pierre Marchand could do a lot better than that... And, btw, we agree about "Fear"... One more thing: Listening to "Plenty" (from both FtE and FS), I imagined SM doing an album with no overdubs, no instruments, etc., just the pure vocals - that might be really interesting! - -+- Neil K. noted: > ps: I've been mailed more panicked forwards of the virus hoax > named "Good Times." This has come up on Ecto before, but just to > reiterate the point - the thing is a hoax. Please don't send it on. > The panic-inspiring message is the virus itself. :) Exactly! I think this is a fine example of a mnemic virus... Of course, as it's mostly the original message which has been circulating, it could be argued that this virus is not solely mnemic. Hmm, to refer back to an old ecto thread, could urban legends be considered a kind of mnemic viruses? - -+- Sue notes: > That Eno piece is very intriguing and worth checking out.

"Bright as Yellow" does indeed sound as Mazzy Star, at least it did until I got better acquainted with it. The album as a whole is pretty nice, even if it haven't yet grabbed me as strongly as the IM album - however, I do not necessarily agree with Albert, that this album is closer to "Umbrella" - it has its own special sound/mood/feel/whatever... - -+- Stop press: I just saw Greg's comments in the latest digest: > * Capercaille, _Capercaille_: UK pressing of rerecordings of songs > from their _Secret People_ album, and other songs, co-produced by > Will Mowat of Soul II Soul...???! sounds a lot like live Mouth > Music -- more funky than their usual fare. some of the > English-language songs are a bit pop-ish, but the Gaelic ones are > great.

Brage) Date: Sun, 7 May 95 00:55:14 MET Subject: Bellatrix/Kolrassa Krokridandi Hi! A few weeks ago, I saw a posting in the newsgroup dk.general, announcing that the Icelandic band Bellatrix would be playing in Copenhagen. The band was described as playing pop/rock/folk and consisting of four girls and a male drummer. It sounded interesting, but the concert collided with Tanita Tikaram's Copenhagen concert, so I did not expect to attend the concert. However, when the day arrived, I realized that I wasn't really in the mood for the Tikaram concert, not least because it looked likely to be a rather tame and fashionable concert (the concert hall chosen did not bode well). So I opted for the complete opposite: An unknown band in a small and decidedly non-fashinable venue... This turned out to be a good choice! Not only was the concert free, the band, Bellatrix, also turned out to be a lot of fun, sounding somewhat like (late) Miranda Sex Garden with Bjoerk on vocals (so my choice of wearing a MSG t-shirt turned out to be very appropriate!). Other bands with a similar sound would be Caterwaul and Cranes. The band consists of Eliza (vocals and fiddle), Sigrun (electric guitar), Anna (electric guitar), Bibi (electric bass), and Kalli (drums); so the folk/rock aspect is pretty obvious in their line-up. Sigrun seems to be the main instrumentalist, though I also rather liked Bibi's bass playing. The fiddle was unfortunately difficult to hear at the concert... My only complaint about the concert was indeed the mix: The vocals and fiddle tended to drown, while the drums were too dominating. As a whole, the band played very well, and with a fine degree of control: The (pretty awful) opening act spent a lot of energy attempting to make noise music, tearing wildly at their guitars, etc., and it all just petered out; Bellatrix stood (relatively) quietly around, handling their instruments with precision and ended up producing far more `noisy' soundscapes... Neat! Some songs were just pure fun, such as "O eg er svo svoeng", which Eliza even sang in Danish (it's actually pretty easy, as the only lyrics (and the title) are "Oh I'm so hungry"! ;-)). Other songs were more serious (though I couldn't understand the lyrics); one was based on a traditional lullaby - Bellatrix' version would be fit to wake the dead, though! After the concert, copies of their CD "Kynjasoegur" were offered for sale; I bought one, and got it signed by the band - appropriately, there's a picture of each band member in the booklet for them to sign... :-) The booklet contains complete lyrics, but all in Icelandic! The sound on the album is somewhat different from their live sound: It's a bit more quiet, allowing the fiddle to play a far more prominent role, and as the band sings backing vocals on most songs, the resemblence of the lead singer's voice to Bjoerk's is less noticeable. The different sound is both a plus and a minus: I rather liked the MSG-like sound of the live performance, but the recorded sound makes the folk aspect of their music more apparent... It turns out that the band also has released an older EP called "Drapa"; the songs on this CD should be somewhat rawer, resembling the live performance. I've just sent off an order for a copy of this EP, and am looking forward to hearing it... I'm buying the EP from a guy from Finland, Albert Sigurdsson (he was the one who posted the concert announcement on dk.general); he should still have a number of both CDs available; in case any of you are interested, here's his email address: sigurdss@cc.helsinki.fi I paid about USD19 for each of the CDs, but your price may vary due to postage, etc... In case Albert runs out of copies, here's the address of Bellatrix' manager: Hulda Geirsdottir Baronsstig 25 101 Reykjavik Iceland Finally, the name Bellatrix is the one they use internationally; in Iceland they use the name Kolrassa Krokridandi (with allowances for the limitations of ASCII).

Speaking of MSG, what are they up to of late? I saw them in the UK about a year ago, and they were *way* different in concert than any of their CDs. It was a pretty intense concert, and in fact MSG and Sleeper and Sharkboy were all supporting acts for Madder Rose, and it was being taped for some UK television programme. (If *anyone* happens to have a tape of that concert -- the show was called "The Beat" or something like that, sponsored by Nike or Reeboks, please, please, please let me know...) Does anyone have any information about Sleeper? They appear to be from the London area (or at least record there), there's a female singer who also appears to write lyrics, and they had a couple of songs on US radio in 1993-94. The songs are sort of punky and feminist and I was completely blown away. (Not to be confused with the US band Sleeper, who are (I think) some guys from upstate NY.) - -- Michael C.

Actually, it sounds mostly like a combination of Kevin D and my comments. Typos provided by myself. Portishead's New Depth by Rob Pegoraro Before a sluggish crowd at Radio Music Hall Tuesday night, Portishead animated and electrified under an hour's worth of it's tranced-out hip-hop and soul. The group, on a two-week U.S. tour to promte its album "Dummy," arrived with four musicians backing up vocalist Beth Gibbons and songwriter-programmer-deejay Geoff Barrow. On record, its sample- and synth-driven songs can come off as overwrought and torpid. Live, however, the Portishead took on more depth, filled out with winding, grinding wah-wah guitar. But Portishead's interaction with the audience was as minimal as Radio Music Hall's decor; Gibbons confined herself mostly to swaying around the microphone stand between drags on a cigarette. The biggest surprise was the show closer, the hit "Sour Times." The band played it much slower than on record, treating it as a sort of moody, romantic dirge - until the last minute, when it cranked up the volume and drove the song into a wall of feedback, climaxing with the guitars and Gibbons screaming at equal volume. Those closing instants contained more energy than all 50 minutes of "Dummy." ------------------------------ From: Michael Matthews Date: Sun, 7 May 1995 03:30:15 -0400 Subject: Today's your birthday, friends... i*i*i*i*i*i i*i*i*i*i*i *************** *****HAPPY********* **************BIRTHDAY********* *************************************************** *************************************************************************** ********************* Joe Dembski (no Email address) ********************** *************** Richard A.
